Interesting. Funimation's Steins;Gate show page is now listing Ashly Burch as Mayuri for S;G 0's episode 2. I wonder if this is how she'll be credited from now on and if she'll be credited as Mayuri for the whole thing on home video. I guess it makes sense considering Funi's tweet last week, which she herself subtly liked on Twitter.

It was always weird how Ashly went by her real name for half of her Funimation roles and Jackie Ross for the other half, especially when she included clips of Mayuri in public demos. This makes it even weirder. I wonder what the reasoning is.

I think that she only used Jackie Ross back when she first started so all of her roles then were under that name and then a few years later, all of her new roles at Funimation were credited under her real name. So I thought then that she'd continue to get credited under Jackie Ross on all her of her older roles for consistency's sake, which made sense until this listing. I guess we'll find out in a year or so once the US home video release is out.

As for what her reasoning is/was, yeah, it'd be nice to know. Could be that she was just trying it out back then and wasn't thinking that she'd work on more. Could be you know, union and/or fi-core related. I guess it's not something that we should be discussing here.

I believe she was credited as Ashly Burch in Attack on Titan and then Jackie Ross again in Code:Breaker, which is why it seemed especially strange.

Oh, you're right! I totally forgot about that. The release dates between those two are pretty close. Hard to say, but since they weren't too far apart, it's possible that Code:Breaker was completed earlier.

Only one left that needs a confirmation is Jessica Cavanagh as Moeka for the main cast, which I'm sure will happen. Also, they've credited Ashly Burch as Mayuri again for episode 3 so there's that.

Funny thing about seeing Emily Neves involved in Steins;Gate is how I had her in mind as Kagari back when I first saw her character design years ago (when they were teasing the new characters in the VN) and even more so after finding out a little more about her in the VN. Emily Neves may not have gotten a role, but still, it's pretty cool knowing she got to be a part of the show. I am reminded of GingaDaiuchuu's fantasy cast of the original series:

I am reminded of GingaDaiuchuu's fantasy cast of the original series: who eventually got cast as Maho, which is even better as she kinda serves a similar role in some ways (she's the genius scientist in S;G 0.)

So far, it's just the two leads as they are the only notable characters that appear in the first episode, while others start appearing in the second. That leaves just High School DxD Hero left to announce for this season's simuldubs.

And some additional cast reveals:

Shiraishi - Ben Phillips
Tsurumi - David Wald
Ogata - Orion Pitts

This show has a pretty sizable cast, but they appear over time. Anyway, the third lead character didn't appear until this week's episode, so now we know who voices him.

Comment

Yup, it's pretty awesome. Bet you actually have a time machine and that was your way of hinting at S;G 0. lol.

As for the last significant character that's yet to be announced, I only had two in mind. Jeannie Tirado as Judy Reyes, the other one was Monica Rial, which is obviously no longer the case. I thought of them mainly because of Judy's Spanish surname, which makes me think that they'd somehow give her a slight Spanish accent. Then again, they didn't give Leskinen a slight accent. Anyway also the fact that Jeannie played Luciana Estevez in Blood Blockade Battlefront, a character who has Spanish surname that also wears a lab coat makes for a nice throwback or easter egg. Guess we'll find out in two weeks.
